XRP News Today: Ripple Pushes for AI Expansion But Price Remains Down

XRP (XRP) faces renewed downside pressure as Ripple rolls out an AI-driven security upgrade for the XRP Ledger, while surging Binance open interest, repeated long liquidations, and a bearish wedge breakdown keep traders on edge.

Ripple Boosts XRPL Security with AI Integration

Ripple announced plans to strengthen the XRP Ledger (XRPL) security using artificial intelligence.

In a March 26 blog post, the company outlined a proactive, AI-driven strategy to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they reach production.

Key elements include AI-assisted testing integrated across the development lifecycle, such as adversarial code scanning on every pull request, AI-assisted code reviews, and threat modeling.

Ripple has also formed a dedicated AI-assisted red team that employs fuzzing and large-scale attack simulations, with a focus on real-world feature interactions and legacy code boundaries.

The initiative raises standards for code changes and amendments while promoting closer collaboration across the ecosystem. The red team has already uncovered more than 10 bugs in the 14-year-old codebase.

This upgrade aims to enhance XRPL’s reliability as it scales for global payments, tokenization, and institutional adoption.

Binance XRP Open Interest Jumps 14.8% Amid Long Liquidations

Leverage is rebuilding in the XRP derivatives market on Binance, according to data resource CryptoQuant

The 24-hour Open Interest percentage change climbed to 14.8%, the highest reading since March 4, when it previously peaked near 16%. This sharp rise signals that traders are aggressively returning and adding fresh exposure.

However, positioning remains fragile. The market saw repeated long liquidation spikes. On March 18, it was over $2.5 million; on March 21 and 25, it was around $2.45 million and $2.15 million, respectively.

While rising open interest reflects growing speculative interest, the string of long liquidations shows bullish bets are still being flushed during volatility. Leverage is returning, but conviction appears unstable and vulnerable to sharp corrections when longs become overcrowded.

XRP Price Action and Market Context

XRP is trading around $1.35–$1.38, down ~2–4% in the last 24 hours and showing weakness recently (hovering near key support levels like $1.35–$1.38 after losing $1.40).

Daily ETF flows have hovered between flat and modestly positive this week, underscoring cautious Wall Street positioning as mixed signals from President Donald Trump on Iran ripple through oil, equities, and US Treasuries.

XRP Technical Analysis: Wedge Breakdown Hints at 17%–20%

XRP appears to be breaking down from a rising wedge pattern on the daily chart, a structure typically associated with bearish reversals.

Price is compressing between converging trendlines, with weakening momentum and repeated rejection near resistance. A confirmed breakdown below the lower trendline could accelerate losses toward the $1.11 support zone, aligning with prior demand levels.

The broader trend remains under pressure, with XRP still trading below key moving averages, reinforcing downside risk in the near term.
